Whereupon Mayor Scott declared the hearing open and Gordon Maddock,
37 E. Huntington Drive, spoke to the environmental impact - stating in
part the d'e sire of the purchaser to save as many trees as possible;
that Oakhurst Lane should remain a private street and that street
improvements shall not include curbs and gutters, however, he would
like to add to that condition recommended by the Planning Commission
that sidewalks also not be a part of the improvement. He added that
meetings have been held with the other property owners and that most
everyone was in favor of the proposed development, Staff noted that
any petitions or letters received concerning this tract were filed
before this revised map for 7 lots instead of 9. Discussion continued
on the setback, the block wall the subdivider desires to construct
along Colorado Boulevard at the property line and other tracts which
have been constructed by this developer. In response to a question
Mr. Maddock stated it is more economical to have all improvements put
in at one time.
Herbert I. Chambers, 280 Oakhurst Lane, stated in part that he would
be opposed to the tract if curbs, gutters and sidewalks were constructed.
He noted changes in the parking spaces 'for his six units which wi 11
improve the on-street parking situation. That he is in favor of the
tract as proposed.
I
George Lewis, 240 Oakhurst Lane, spoke in favor if the aesthetic effett
of the street remain as it is now - without curbs, gutters and
sidewalks. He was pleased with the proposed architecture and parking
facilities which are to be provided. Because it is a private street
he said in part that he felt all the property owners would cooperate
with the developers when it came time to repave the street.
Eleanor Chambers, 280 Oakhurst Lane, spoke in favor of the tract and
commended the developer for his willingness to cooperate with the
property owners; with his intention to maintain the rural atmosphere.
Mrs. Vernon Thill, 260 Oakhurst Lane, spoke in favor of the tract and
appreciated the intention to keep the street in its rural atmosphere.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilwoman Lauber and carried unani-
mously.
Councilman Helms asked the Planning Director to explain for the record
the status of another development - a planned residential development
for an exclusive entry off Oakhurst Lane, The Planning Director
stated in part that the developers are still working on it - that the
earthquake fault runs through this particular site - that the buildings
and pool have been relocated because of this -- ~hat there are other
problems including soil, however, thus far building and landscape plans
have been submitted and approved.
Councilman Helms expressed concern with the number of present and
future units planned for this long street with a width of only 30 feet;
particularly in the area of fire prevention and referred to the hazard
under heavy traffic conditions specifically at the entrance off
Colorado - that there is no safe way to make a turn. He felt the
addition of a high density development would only place a burden on
this unique street which he could not condone; that it presents a sub-
standard condition and suggested that the street be widened for the
subject 7 lots which would provide increased safety for all and would
alleviate some of the parking problems. He would approve the, tract
if it complied with standard tract regulations, i. e., curbs, gutters
and width of streets.
I
Mayor Scott agreed with the position of Councilman Helms and said in
his opinion Council is not well advised to approve a tract which would
have a substandard street. He suggested ways of reapportioning the
footage of Lots I and 2 and narrowing Lots 6 and 7 - which to him
would make a better final development. He could not support the tract

with the street as proposed. He appreciated the rural atmosphere but
felt the City has a responsibility to provide all safety services to
a street be it private or public.
Councilwoman Lauber submitted in part that she was familiar with the
subject tract when it was before the Planning Commission and recalled
chat the residents were unanimous in their feeling for the preservation
of the rural atmosphere of Oakhursr Lane - that no other street has
such unique qualities - that the tract is well above the square foot
requirements for lots and if and when the tract is constructed it
would not be crowding any more people down at the cui de sac but at
the entrance at Colorado Boulevard. She then MOVED that Council finds
the development would not have a substantial impact on the environment
and that the tract be approved subject to all conditions.
Motion seconded by Councilman Saelid With the further comment that he
was also concerned about Lots I and 2 but did not like the idea of
forcing the widening. He sees this as one of the unique streets in
the city of which there are few and that in the event of a structural
fire the rig would have to be backed out and would present a temporary
hazard while being removed from the street - that in his opinion this
would be a small price to pay.
In response to a question the Fire Chief said he would have to confer
with the Fire Marshall as to what type of equipment would be sent to
this particular street in the event of a structural fire.
Councilman Helms responded to this by recalling an emergency situation
on his street which is also a cui de sac but about 15 or 20 feet wider
than the subject street _n he noted the difficult time the fire rig
had when answering a call for damage from high winds.
Mayor Scott then called for the roll call vote.

not complied with the requirements of Section 6434.5 of the Municipal
Code in providing liability insurance in specified amounts as a pre-
requisite to receiving a permit to conduct commercial collection of

supplied by said company was effectively cancelled and on said date
and time and p~rsuant to Section 6314.4 of the Municipal Code the
Chief of Police by written order temporarily suspended the petmit.

that no renewal of the liability insurance or substitute liability
insurance has been submitted to date.

Public Hearings were scheduled for June 18 on Planning Commission
recommendations concerning property at 1130-50 W. Colorado Boulevard
(Eaton property). (Resolution Nos. 850 and (51)
Council received the report of the Planning Commission concerning joint
use of city owned property where possible and specifically relating to
tennis courts on the Baldwin Reservoir roof. (This matter discussed
later in this meeting and scheduled for public hearing on June 18.)
Council received the report of the Planning Commission concerning the
proposed location for a park at 143 W. Colorado Boulevard. The report
indicated there is a definite need for such a facility and that it would 1
be consistent with the General Plan and would not have an adverse impact
on the environment. (Discussed Later in this meeting.)
Council received the report of the Planning Commission in response to
Council's request for further consideration of Resolution No. 843 con-
cerning temporary window signs and the definition of a sign. The
Commission voted 5 to 2 to reaffirm its original recommendation. Be it
noted that the public hearing on this matter was closed.
Councilman Helms indicated disappointment in the action of the com-
mission; that in his opinion Council had asked the Commission to study
the suggestions of the Chamber of Commerce and submit a revised recom-
mendation as to an ordinance which would embrace those suggestions.,..
The Chamber of Commerce had suggested a permit procedure.
Councilman Saelid, Council Liaison to the Commission,stated in part
that in retrospect he now thinks that Council should have taken the
prerogative of making changes which it felt necessary anJ IAPn ask the
Commiss ion to take another look at it. 1v1A"71-IE f(
Councilman Helms MOVED to adopt the recommendation of the Commission
and instruct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance for Council
review pursuant to Resolution No. 843.
Councilman Saelid seconded the motion and commented in part that Council
and the Commission are aware of what the intent is in terms of a sign
ordinance ---- to prevent gaudy appearance which can develop in a de-
caying commercial area. He felt Council is sensitive to the businessman
and what he may face once the new shopping center is open; that the
merchants need assistance without any additional restraints placed upon
them. He suggested an amendment to the motion - that the matter be
referred to the Chamber of Commerce for a specific period during which
time the procedure may be studied; that it may be possible for the
Chamber to assume the responsibility of compliance by merchants with
the regulations. The motion was then amended to include ---- that the
ordinance be submitted to the Chamber of Commerce for study during the
next eight months; at which time suggestions for improvement will be
reviewed by Council. The Vice President of the Chamber agreed with this
and commented he would be pleased to work with the City staff in this
regard. The motion was then carried unanimouslyo

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
j
Mrs. Frances Meehan, 460 W. Walnut Avenue, spoke at 'length to the need
in the San Gabriel Valley of financial assistance for health services
and noted that the County budget proposed for 1974-75 allows only two
per cent of the total health budget for the San Gabriel Valley and that
the proposed ten year capital improvement plan for the County does not
specify any improvements for the valley except for perhaps verbal
assurances. She noted the subject area is in the greatest need and
asked Council to adopt a resolution seeking this assistance from the
County Board of Supervisors. Mrs. Meehan was joined in this effort by
Councilman Helms who presented a resolution later in this meeting.

Edwin Phelps, 315 Joyce Avenue, asked for Council assistance in reducing
the noise emanating from the freeway in the vicinity east of Santa Anita.
Copies of a letter to Mr. Phelps from the State Division of Highways had
been previously circulated among Council members. Some discussion held
on various methods to alleviate the problem. It was the consensus of
Council that staff should pursue the matter with a report back.
,
Mrs. Arthur Reiter, 210 W. Orange Grove Avenue, spoke in favor of tennis
courts. She also suggested the improvement of the Council Chamber
acoustics perhaps by way of carpeting, upholstering the seats and the
like.
1
Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, spoke to the tax statements from both
the County and the City and noted the high amount of the County taxes.
He suggested that the cities of the San Gabriel Valley band together and
keep a watch over County Government in this regard.
F:
The City Council, on May 7, tabled the Environmental Impact Report and
scheduled discussion for this date - on the matter of tennis courts on
Baldwin Reservoir roof. Pursuant to Council request staff submitted a
report on costs, alternatives, etc., along with alternate methods of
strengthening the roofs. (Report dated May 31 and on file in the office
of the City Clerk.) Alternate locations and acquisition costs were set
1 r forth in the same report. Pros and cons of utilizing the roofs were ex-
r .:, 1 plored as were methods of increasing privacy for the adjacent residents -
perhaps screening the courts, changing the configuration of the tennis
courts, lighting. .;'

Council agreed on the need for such recreational facilities in this
section of the city, however, if Council is going to consider constructing
courts on the reservoir roof the first step should be to hold a public
hearing on the Environmental Impact Report in an endeavor to ascertain
the attitude of the residents. It was then MOVED by Councilman Helms,
seconded by Councilwoman Lauber and carried unanimously that said report
be TAKEN OFF THE TABLE and scheduled for a public hearing on JUNE 18.
Notices to be mailed to residents within 300 feet of the subject site,
signers of petitions which are on file and the property owner associ-

It was noted that the firm of Perliter and Ingalsbe had been retained
to perform the consulting work in connection with the above exploration
of the roofs and it was MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by
Councilwoman Lauber and carried on roll call vote as follows that $1800
be authorized for payment to said firm to pay the accumulated fees which
have been earned to date.- -from General Contingency Account.

PROPOSED ILl Council had previously received the recommendation of the Planning
PARK f /37 Commission concerning its approval of 143 W. Colorado Boulevard for a
143 W. public park. Council indicated its approval of the site and Councilman
Colorado Helms MOVED to authorize staff to proceed with negotiations for the pur-
(Staff to chase of this property and to initiate condemnation procedures if they
proceed) prove necessary. Councilman Saelid seconded the motion which was carried
unanimously. This matter will be brought back to Council.
UTILITY
USERS' TAX
Pursuant to the request of Council staff submitted a report dated May 29
concerning exemptions, rebates or a reduction in the utility tax rate.
Included therein was an estimate of administrative costs under anyone
of the methods which are being considered by Council in an endeavor to
give financial relief to people below a certain income level arid disabled
persons. Pros and cons of the three methods were explored; tax refund
system, tax exemption system and/or a reduction in the utility tax rate
which is 5%.

Each system was discussed with the exemption method meeting with favor
to some extent although Councilwoman Lauber felt the staff report was
not adequate as it did not indicate the "i mpact of a 1% reduction this
year, nor whether or not such reduction would affect the proposed
1974-75 budget to any great degree. She spoke in favor of phasing out
the tax which unlike the property tax cannot be deducted from one's
income tax and in her opinion should eventually be rescinded as it is
a burden to a lot of people. She referred to the anticipated increased
revenue from Fashion Park and felt the phasing out should begin next
year.
Councilman Saelid stated in part that he also thinks the utility tax is
a poor tax and would like to see it phased out over a period of time,
however, certain expenditures would have to be eliminated from the 1
budget - these could be considered when discussions are held on reducing
the utility tax - that during the interim he favored giving some relief
to some of the people by adopting the exemption system.
Councilman Gilb submitted in part that he is not quite as optimistic
about Fashion Park as others --- he believes it will be successful but
to what extent is unknown at this time.--- economics will decide that.
Councilman Helms noted in part that to eliminate the utility tax at
this time would amount to about a 37~ increase in property tax to make
up for the loss of revenue. He would support the exemption basis.
Following further considerations it was MOVED by Councilman Saelid,
seconded by Councilman Gilb, that the City Attorney prepare an
ordinance for a true exemption system with an annual filing of updated
lists of those qualifying. This to take effect December 31, 1974.
Walt Landor, 1654 Rodeo Road, stated in part that in his opinion the
utility tax should be rescinded in its entirety and suggested screening
the proposed 1974-75 budget for excessive expenditures.
Mayor Scott then called for the roll call vote.
Prior to casting her vote Councilwoman Lauber stated in part that she
would vote in the affirmative but would ask Council to consider her
thoughts on the matter and to pursue the phasing out program in the
very near future.

Staff was asked to obtain from the utility companies input as to the
feasibility of a quarterly updating. Councilwoman Lauber will put into
writing her request of staff for specific data.
Mrs. Arthur Reiter, 210 W. Orange Grove Avenue, spoke to the matter
noting that the subject tax would be tax deductible if it were 6%...
that she would prefer an increase in the city property tax which is
tax deductible.

Council received staff recommendation for approval of plans and
specifications for the improvement of Orange Grove Avenue from Santa
Anita to 241 feet of Olivera Lane. Discussion ensued on the construction
of sidewalks which at this time are scheduled for one side of the street.
It was the consensus of Council that input from the residents as to .
sidewalks would be desirable and it was MOVED by Councilman Helms,
seconded by Councilman Gilb and carried unanimously that a public
hearing be scheduled for June 18. The residents to be so notified.

Staff advised that an error was made in the initial cost estimate of the
reconstruction of Santa Anita from Live Oak to 150 feet north of Palm
Drive. Council had adopted a resolution requesting an allocation of
County Aid to Cities - fund in the amount of $36,000. However the
figure should be $50,000. Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Gilb,
seconded by Councilman Helms and carried unanimously that Resolution
No. 4427 be rescinded and a new one adopted. (Resolution No. 4432
adopted later in this meeting.)
The Tenth Avenue Horsemans' Association has been endeavoring to
establish a spur riding and hiking trail on the east side of the Santa
Anita Wash from Duarte Road south to a point northerly of Camino Real
where the southerly extension of the trail is blocked by the Linda Way
subdivision. The association has prepared plans and other data required
by the County Flood Control District and the District Permit was
received by the association. It is now necessary for an agreement to
be executed by the Cities of Arcadia and Monrovia.
Jack Tallon, 1207 S. Tenth Avenue, spoke at length and asked Council
to consider the terms of the proposed agreement. After considering
all circumstances it was agreed that the City does not have to have any
sort of an easement other than the proposed agreement which apparently
is satisfactory to the City of Monrovia. Said agreement to be executed
by all property owners. Any improvements would be maintained by the
Association. The City would have the authority to go on the property
to see if this is done properly. Under certain conditions the petmit
could be rescinded and the County Flood Control District notified.
Staff will check with the insurance carrier as to liability coverage in
this particular area and use.
It was MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Gilb and
carried unanimously that an agreement be and it is hereby authorized
pursuant to the discussion. The City Attorney will work with the
Association in this regard.
Staff advised that the improvements in Tract No. 31255, Don Ricardo
Drive, have been completed in accordance with city requirements and

Council received the written request of Mrs. Edith Dunn, for a copy of
the tapes of the council meetings to be placed in the City Library.
Councilman Gilb stated in part that in his opinion the tapes belong in
the City Hall whete they are a part of the city record and should not
be placed in any other building; the City Clerk makes them available
at the City Hall which is the place of business of this City. He then
MOVED that the tapes not be located anywhere else other than in the
office of the City Clerk in the City Hal I. Motion seconded by
Councilwoman Lauber and carried unanimously.
Council received the request of Mrs. Edith Dunn for a copy of the
Council Packet to be placed in the City Library on the Friday evening
prior to the Tuesday Council meeting. Councilman Helms stated in part
that in his opinion the council packet should not be made public until I
the Council has had an opportunity to review the material; that
additions and corrections are sometimes made prior to council meetings.
Councilman Giib submitted in part that it is not a question of tapes or
packets not being available because they are; it is just that the
material is. entrusted to the people who have been elected and further
where would it stop - staff would be preparing hundreds of copies;
that every citizen has a right to ask questions and have them properly
answered.
It was then MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Gilb that
the request for a copy of the council packet in the Library be denied.
Mrs. Edith Dunn, 101 W. Palm Drive, said in part that it would be more
convenient if the packet were in the Library; that it would not be any
great thing for staff to prepare two additional packets; that the .
citizens are entitled to this and they might have information about an
item which would be useful to Council; that if this is the decision of
Council she will have to do whatever is necessary to get the material
because this is a right she is entitled to. In response to a question
the City Attorney advised on Municipal Code Section 2122.3 relating to
this matter.
Mrs. May Secrest, 820 Tindalo Rd., stated in part that she is in favor
of the request; that the agenda does not give sufficient information on
the items; that in her opinion more citizens would attend council
meetings if they knew what business is going to be conducted.
